How to fix this:

It seems that the packaged Eclipse is missing the jar file
org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_3.8.1.v20120730-193458.jar

(or similar) originally from http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.1-201209141540/linPlatform.php#EclipseSDK

Go to
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins

mkdir org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv
cd org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv

Unpack the jar in this folder
jar tvf org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_3.8.1.v20120730-193458.jar

Delete the Eclipse error log. (Restart?)

Open Help->Search
Type in "ui.examples.propertysheet"

Browse documentation from local computer. Notice the absence of Error messages.

Since I'm unwinding my tab stack, the full name of this missing artifact is
"Platform Plug-in Developer Guide - org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv"
